All the parts (other than the drive train) were made with our 3D printers. Then we gave it a quick paint job. We embedded two IR sensors on the front and put a Arduino in the middle cavity to dr...

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could summon a robot to bring a be...

We had a very lucky customer that wanted one, so we built it for him just in time for winter. The Remote snow blower is a powerful 24V DC 4WD robot that pushes a gas powered snow blower.

We just installed a gun turret on overkill that now tilts two guns up ~45 degree and down ~10 degrees and pans ~420 degrees. Its equipped with a 27X zoom camera that lets you remotely zoom in on the target. We mounted two Tippmann A-5 Markers with electronic triggers. The custom hopper holds over 500 rounds and will shoot in full automatic mode (with both guns in full auto 1800 rounds a minute!). ...
